The peroxone process (O/HO) is reported to be a more effective process than the ozonation process due to an increased rate of generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH) and inhibition of bromate (BrO) formation which is otherwise formed on ozonation of bromide containing waters. However, the trade-off between the HO dosage required for minimization of BrO formation and effective pollutant removal has not been clearly delineated. In this study, employing experimental investigations as well as chemical modelling, we show that the concentration of HO required to achieve maximum pollutant removal may not be the same as that required for minimization of BrO formation. At the HO dosage required to minimize BrO formation (<10 µg/L), only pollutants with high to moderate reactivity towards O and OH are effectively removed. For pollutants with low reactivity towards O/OH, high O (O:DOC>>1 g/g) and high HO dosages (O:HO ∼1 (g/g)) are required for minimizing BrO formation along with effective pollutant removal which may result in a very high residual of HO in the effluent, causing secondary pollution. On balance, we conclude that the peroxone process is not effective for the removal of low reactivity micropollutants if minimization of BrO formation is also required.

Dichloroacetic acid (DCAA), trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), and bromate (BrO) are disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed during drinking water treatment and pose health risks. Rapid and reliable detection of these DBPs is essential for ensuring water safety. Non-suppressed ion chromatography (IC)-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (IC-ESI-MS/MS) offers a promising approach for simultaneous analysis of organic haloacetic acids (HAAs) and inorganic oxyhalides, but previous methods using toxic methylamine can pose health risks.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a leading neurodegenerative disorder, is closely associated with the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides in the brain. The enzyme β-secretase (BACE1), pivotal in Aβ production, represents a promising therapeutic target for AD. While bioactive peptides derived from food protein hydrolysates have neuroprotective properties, their inhibitory effects on BACE1 remain largely unexplored.

Bromate (BrO) is a common by-product of advanced oxidation water treatment processes. In this study, a catalyst combining MXene and Pd was synthesized to eliminate BrO by electrochemical reduction in flow-through mode. The fabricated Ti/Pd@MXene filter showed superior activity for BrO reduction compared with Ti/MXene filter.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment that kills target cells through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photosensitizers (PS) and surrounding oxygen under the stimulus of light. Despite of its popularity in cancer treatment, PDT relys on oxygen and therefore suffers from long response time and low efficiency under low-oxygen situations such as tumor hypoxia. Herein, to improve the usage of oxygen and increase ROS yield, we synthesized six potential PSs termed DC-O, DC-S, DC-BrO, DC-BrS, DC-IO, and DC-IS, by modifying coumarins with thiocarbonyl and bromine/iodine.
